Audit Finance: Staff and Contacts

About Our Staff

The Audit-Finance Department is comprised of the Financial Administrator, who also acts as the County Auditor, an Accountant II, and three Accountant I positions. In addition to experience in Audit-Finance, the experience of the department includes service in the Treasurer's office, the Clerk's office, and Information Technology. This direct experience enables the Audit-Finance staff to have a better understanding of the County activities they are responsible for auditing and the software that they use to perform their accounting duties. The staff of Audit-Finance also has many years of experience outside the County in both auditing and banking. The diverse background and experience of the staff provides a tremendous resource for problem-solving and brainstorming skills which are critical to the Audit-Finance office.

The Financial Administrator is responsible for developing, implementing, and enforcing County fiscal policies and procedures. The Financial Administrator is also responsible for working with the external auditors on the annual audit and confers with bond counsel and other professionals as necessary. Additionally, the Financial Administrator directs the overall fiscal operations of the County, oversees the preparation of the budget, prepares and analyzes financial reports, performs the statutory duties of the County Auditor and serves as the fiscal advisor for the Board of County Commissioners in matters relating to budget, investments, revenues, expenditures and other financial areas.

The Accountant II position, currently held by Shelly Hall, supervises the three Accountant I positions and acts in the place of the Financial Administrator when needed. The three Accountant I positions held by Cheryl Wickersham, Roberta Bradford and Nancy Lawrence, have rotating duties that are done daily, as well as permanently assigned responsibilities.
